4iciency was discovered in the accounts
of the late Financial Clerk Of the Pat

further discovery that some 80 per

Cleveland received 2l9 electoral
votes in the whole Union to Blaine's
1872. The Republicans must gain ~
electoral votes or more. Indiana Will
probably go Republican next year, but
her ID votes are not enough. Indiana,
with either Connecticut or New Jersey,
would give us victory; or New York
alone would elect the Republican can
didate.
The Labor vote is the unknown fac
tor in New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey. There will be strong Labor
movement in these three States; and if
the general conditions are to be practi-
cally the same as between Democrats
and Republicans next year, as they
were in 1884, the Republicans will
carry both New York and Connecticut,
through the strength which the Labor
ticket will draw from the Democratic
ranks.
And we do not see but that, in gen.
eral terms, the Republican and Demo
critic strength are in the same proper
tions as in 1884. Then Withdraw, in
New York alone, the Is, 900 votes that
were cast for Henry George for Mayor
of the city last spring, remembering
that about three-fourths will come
from the Democratic vote, and about
one-fourth from the Republican, and
the prospect Of Republican success is
assuring. Indiana we will throw in
for good measure, for we have no doubt
that she will cast her electoral vote for
the Republican candidate. Toledo

just as hat stamps a woman, SAYS an
authority in ouse-furnishing. "You
meet a woman, and if she has on hat,
it is the first thing You notice, and you
Judge her by her head-gear. So it is
with a mantel. II the room has a
mantel, it is the first thing you see. If
it is dusty, it is an untidy room; il it
is cold, white marble, the room is
funereal; if it is undraped, the whole
room is bare and barren-looking.
When you are fortunate enough to
secure a nantel-pece like our illustra-
ton, there is very little needed to be
done. The jars and vases are owned
by every well-regulated family, and
with a brass fender and fire set all is
finished, and quite sufficiently so. But
only the most modern and complete
houses are supplied in THUS regard.

PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS FOR
NEXT YEAR.

There will assuredly be four parties
In the field next year-the Republican,
the Democratic, the Labor, and the
political Prohihtionists. Either the
Republicans or the Democrats will win.
The other two parties will but be dis
turbing elements, drawing their
strength from the two great parties.
1t is probable that the political Pro-
hlbition party does more injury to the
Republican cause than to the Demo
cratic. The reverse is the case with
the new Labor party. It's chief strength
lies in the cities, of course; and in the
few places where it placed candidates
IN the field at municipal elections last
spring it drew heavily upon the Demo
cratN strength-notably in New York
City and Cincinnati. 1t will probably
be fair to accept the estimate of 10 and
10 per cent. as the proportions OF
Labor votes drawn from the Demo
cratic and the Republican parties res
J. pectively.
The Democratic candidate for the
Presidency will undoubtedly carry the
entire South. That section is still
solid, and it will not do for the Repub-
licans to base any calculations upon a
victory in Virginia, West Virginia, or
Tennessee, or any State of the late
Confederacy.
The Republicans can carry with ease
next year the same States that cast
their electoral vote for Blaine in 1884 ;
but that will not elect their man. They
must carry enough more to have ma
jority of the tai number of electoral
votes. The Northern States carried
by the Democrats, with the electoral
vote of each and Cleveland's majorities,
are given below:

ORIGIN OF FRUIT CANNING.

1t is a singular fact that we are
indebted to Pompeii for the great
industry Of canning fruit. Years
ago when the excavations were
just beginning, a party of Cincinna-
tians found, in what had been the
pantry Of a house, many jars of pre-
served figs. One was opened and
found to be fresh and good. Investi-
cations showed that the figs had
been put up in a heated state, an
aperture left for the steam to escape
and then sealed with wax. The
hint was taken. and the next year
canning fruit "a introduced into
the United States, the process be-
ing identical with that in vogue in
Pompeii twenty centuries ago. The
old ladies' in America who IAN toma-
toes and peaches do not realize that
they are indebted for this art to a
people who persisted nearly 1000
years ago.

MY LOST SELF.

You wonder why my eyes are dim with

Then, shall l tell you? Long and
long ago,
So long ago! years piled On weary years,
There was a little child | used to
know;
And every day and night and every hour
We took life's gift together, sun and
shade,
And saw the rainbow shining through
the shower,
And heard the talk that building rob-
ins made,
We thought the world was ours to come
and 60
About his highways, finding treasures
We thought all heaven was ours, and
fashioned so
Grand, castles after castle high in air!

But most of all | miss my comrade child
Her brave true courage and her faith

That sometimes from the mirrors shin

In my own features, worn and faded SO,

Whatever treasure we may hold or

To loose ones happy self is saddest,

suing for a Beggar's Estate.

New YORK, July 31.-For years prior
to her death Mrs Ann Dyer, had been a
mendicant. During half of each week
she saF on corner near the Barclay
Street Ferry soliciting aims She attired
herself in the humblest of arrays and
wore on her face the most wo !. begone OF
expressions. After her death it was found
tha' she had left an estate Of $500 This
was not all the result of her beggary, Her
family say that the half of the week she
did not spend in begging she devoted to
speculations IN real estats. Her ventures
proved fortunate and the estate was the
outcome of her dual life. Her will disin-
herited Mrs Ann Kennedy, one of her
five daughters. After her death Mrs. Ken
nedy produced deed for part OF the
property, which she said her mother had
given her. 1t had never been recorded,
but it waa shown that though Mrs. Dyer
had once decided to make the gift to her
daughter she afterward changed her
mind. Master Williams refused to recog-
nize the deed and gave Judgment for the
other four heirs.

An Aged Claimant for a Pension

CINCINNATI, July 31.-Proofs have
been collected which it is believed entitle
Mrs. Mary Casey, of Washington Court
House, Ohio, to pension as widow of
a Revolutionary SOLDIER. Mrs Casey Is
now so years OF age. She was married at
the age of l6 to John Casey, then in his
seventy fifth year. Casey served three
years as soldier in the Revolutionary
war. His service brought him near to
General Washington much of the time,
and, although a private, he acquired
some acquaintance with the General, a
fact to which he proudly referred for
more than half century. He lived for
20 years after his marriage to Mary Cox,
now his venerable widow. She says he
was remarkably handsome man, even in
old age. They were married in Jackson
County, o., but removed to Virginia,
where they lived in comfort on planta-
ton and owned slaves. The old lady has
since lost the property and is only kept
from want by the kindness of friends.
The pension, il she secuers it, will
amount to Sf,Oo0. II is stated here that
there is only one Revolutionary widow
now drawing a pension-Mrs. Abigail
Tilton, of AeE Hampshire.
